Hi! My name is Mackenzie. I have taken care of my family's dogs since I was young. I have worked with dogs ranging from small pugs to large shepherd mixes. I can't wait to get to meet your best friend and spend some time with him or her!

I'm an avid dog lover originally from Chicago. I have experience with various dog breeds and dog ages, so I understand the various needs each dog might have. I also have experience sitting and administering medications to dogs.

La Grange, IL gives residents the best of both worlds. One of the oldest suburbs of Chicago and one of the closest, the town maintains a small-town, family-friendly feel only 15 minutes from a large metropolitan area. Not only that, but in La Grange, you’re never far from scenic natural surroundings -- the small city is surrounded by creeks, trails and forest preserves ideal for leashed walks with your furry friend! In terms of care for your pet, there are three veterinary clinics in town to look after your buddy, with 24-hour emergency services available in nearby Countryside.

While there’s no dedicated dog park in La Grange, you and your pooch are sure to sniff out something to do! There are plenty of community parks available for a more sedate stroll. Gordon Park at Tilden Ave and Ogden Ave is a particular favorite of local dog owners. Cultured canines and their owners might appreciate a wander through La Grange’s historic downtown, a perfectly preserved wonderland with several buildings designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. There are five restaurants downtown that welcome doggy diners at outdoor tables, and some pawsitively excellent pet treat options. And if your furry friend needs to run free, don’t fret -- there are plenty of opportunities for off-leash adventures in the surrounding area!

#1 Downtown La Grange

Downtown La Grange isn’t just historically interesting -- it’s also home to the fantastic Urban Mutts on S. La Grange Street. This locally owned store has its own treat bar, where you’re sure to find something to keep your buddy bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! The helpful staff here will also make treats to order for special occasions, and you can purchase samples if your pup is picky. If your dog isn’t too full, they can dine with you at Q-BBQ, or at the Corner Bakery and Cafe for a more laid-back coffee experience.

#2 Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge Dog Park

36

The Katherine Legge Memorial Dog Park in Hinsdale is a real mutts-visit. One of the few dog parks in Cook County that isn’t members-only, the park is huge and even features a small creek! There’s no separate areas for large and small dogs, though, so be mindful of your pup’s temperament. Water and bags are provided, but be warned -- you can only let your pup off leash during certain hours. The off-leash area is in operation from 5 AM to 9 AM and 7 PM to 10 PM in the summer, and 5 AM to 10am and 5 PM to 10 PM during the winter. If you let your pooch run free outside of these times, you risk a $50 fine.

#3 Fullersburg

For fur-friendly hiking, look no further than Fullersburg Woods in nearby Oakbrook. This stately natural oak woodland showcases some of the most splendid scenery Cook County has to offer, and there’s a trail here for every fitness level. Be careful, though; no matter how much your buddy loves swimming, letting them loose in Saltwater Creek is a bad idea -- those currents can be dangerous! Be sure to bring your own water and bags, and look up a trail map before you go. Some trails aren’t suitable for your pooch due to the wildlife in the area.

The Happy Tails Dog Park at Summit Park is a true hidden gem. Tucked away at the back of the Summit Park District, just a nine-minute drive from La Grange, this pawesome park is one of the few in this area of Illinois that doesn’t require a permit. There are separate areas for large and small dogs, so your pooch can socialize no matter their size, and the park even provides a big basket of toys for catch and tug-of-war. There are no water fountains though, so bring your own water -- your pup is sure to work up a thirst!
